Dear all,
I also happened to see a Tamil movie yesterday some 80's movie where there was this so called comedy scene where the comedian there kicks a Brahmin priest who was praying to God at the river side to cure his backpain and after the kick his back pain goes away and the priest then comes with a group of brahmin priests and reciting
Om Sahana Vavatu Sahanau Bhunaktu mantra..garlands the comedian and tells him that you are the new Avatara Purusha who cured my back and now please kick this other brahmin here too with a stiff back..
You know my husband and I thought it was a joke which was in bad taste and very very disrespectful to a Priest.I am not being pro Brahmin here but a priest is a religous leader and he needs to be potrayed with some respect.
Have any one seen in any tamil movie where a Christian or Muslim religous leader treated like this?
A Christian father will be portrayed as all forgiving and all loving and even if he is killed by some vilians he will be uttering these dying words..."Oh Jesus..Forgive this child" and he will get enough time to make some holy gestures and die.
A Muslim leader will be portrayed as some Hindi speaking South Indian who is also very loving and caring and will censure anyone being bad as Shyaitan Ki Bacche and instilling justice to all.
All double standards the film industry has..why no one dare make a movie on the alleged sexual abuse in the Churches?
Movies are just business; they will provide scenes and screen play according to the demand in the marketplace!
There are very many deep pocketed - filthy rich - religious people like Yogi Ramdev who can make movies to suit the sensitivities of the religious Hindus (and bad mouth about other religions) if they want to!!!
